I just checked the SS Support Center and it is included with a sub to Ulrichsweb. I had confused this with the XML data service (which *does* cost extra), so I never followed up. Thanks for mentioning! -James -----Original Message----- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Ranti Junus Sent: Thursday, December 27, 2012 4:34 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] ulrich's api? Huh, that's a good question. We happen to subscribe to Ulrich and I don't know if it's included by default. I didn't even know about this API until Andrew Nagy mentioned it when I visited their booth at ALA conference to discuss something else. In my experience, after I signed the document and sent it back, they sent me back a link to the documentation page along with the login information. I have not been using it, regrettably. This is something I put on my goals and objectives for the coming year. On Thu, Dec 27, 2012 at 4:15 PM, Jonathan Rochkind <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Thanks!
